Monroe Township will be celebrating Independence Day on Tuesday, July 4th at Thompson Park beginning at 5:00 PM followed by fireworks at dusk.

Once the parking lots in the Park are full, all the entrances to the Park will be closed off, and everyone will be directed to park near the softball fields located off Fir Drive (off Perrineville Rd. between Schoolhouse Rd. and the Jamesburg Border).

Shuttles will be available throughout the evening to transport everyone from the parking area near the softball fields down to the Event at the Lake in Thompson Park and back. Handicapped parking and transportation will also be available at the Fir Drive Entrance to the Park.
